It's sort of a bluesy twist on "3 AM."

            E          (464444)
I pull my boots off,

                  Asus2          (242222)
Throw my weapon on    the floor

          E         (464444)
I cry my eyes out

                     Asus2      (242222)
In my private little war

         E
Well it seems I've been a soldier

(464444) Heaven knows I've been no saint

           Asus2
With my camouflage and armor

(242222) Cold heart and grease paint

    E
To you this has no meaning

(464444) The armistice laid down

     Asus2
The armies all are quiet

(242222) And the guns don't make a sound, 'cause you.. CHORUS

E                             C#m7
   You melted the steel walls, tore down the bobwire

Bm7                   Asus2        (002100)
   filled in the trenches, demanded a ceasefire

E                         C#m7
   And now you're leavin', there's nothin' I can do

Bm7                   Asus2       (002100)
   I want you to know, you're gonna take me with you

2nd Verse Well now feel the match on suicide in the foxhole of my mind and way off in the distance, the air raid sirens whine and they sing your song of rescue, to my tattered worn out shell you drag me to your safety, from this my front line hill CHORUS (bridge)

C#m                 D                            E
  The blood that was spilled in the heartache before

C#m                 Asus2          B                             E
  Left on massive scars, that I never, never could ignore to you

CHORUS(acoustic only) Fade off playing chorus part--sing "Doot dooo doot dooo doot"
